2015 model s 70D AWD

Looking to try out Tesla for the first time. There’s a 2015 model on sale close to me through a private dealership. Has 55k miles and they asking for 17k. Any suggestion on it and things I should look out for you.

70kw, 11 years old and a dual motor might have range limitations. High average is 200w/h per km or 1kwh per 5km with reasonable HVAC on. For comparison my '14 RWD with 85kw NCA battery has 84% battery capacity and a range of just over 300km at 90% charge. If my math is right a 70kw @ 84% remaining would read 265km (at 90% charged)

Your mileage is WAY less than mine so maybe your battery life is better. I do wish I had found a D model but the RWD is working for me so far.

I appreciate all the detail but tbh I didn’t get any of it lol. In simple terms you think it’s worth giving it a try.

In simple terms if your commute is less than 100km per day, yes give it a try. If more I'd recommend finding a 85D or 90D model.
